Laser Genesis
What Does Laser Genesis Treat?
Fine lines & wrinkles
Acne and/or acne scarring
The appearance of large pores
Rough/bumpy skin texture
Redness & rosacea
Hyperpigmentation/brown spots/discolouration
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Laser Genesis is most frequently used to treat the face and neck. However, it can also be used to treat more unconventional areas and/or issues, such as chest or back for wrinkle reduction or acne scars. Contact us if you have questions about a treatment area!
Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis works using micro-pulses of laser energy to activate collagen remodelling. This will help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, diminish facial redness and brown spots, minimize scarring, and refine pores and texture. Laser Genesis is ideal for the face and neck but can also be used on other areas of the body to combat noticeable signs of aging, sun damage or scarring. Laser Genesis can also work very well for acne scarring and may show clearing after a few sessions. Best of all, this is a quick, no-downtime procedure that can gently improve your overall complexion - making it a great lunchtime treatment!

What Results Can I Expect From Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis is unique in that it provides a variety of benefits - not just one thing! Some of the improvements you can expect after a series of Laser Genesis treatments are:
Brightened skin; fewer dark spots/hyperpigmentation
Smoother skin; a reduction in rough/bumpy texture
Clearer skin; helps to heal active breakouts and acne scarring
Younger skin; fewer fine lines & wrinkles
Is There Any Pain or Downtime With Laser Genesis?
In short - not at all! Laser Genesis is a gentle, relaxing treatment that feels warm and therapeutic. It is also a fairly quick procedure, depending on how many areas are being treated.
There is also no downtime with this treatment! Pop in on your lunch break or while running errands - you’ll be in and out in a flash without having to worry about any redness or swelling. Our only tip here - make sure you wear sunscreen after, especially if you’re headed outside!
*For those with extremely sensitive skin, you may notice slight redness that can last a few of hours. If you have sensitive skin and are unsure what treatment is best for you, please contact us or book a consultation!
Who Is This Treatment Suitable For?
Laser Genesis is gentle enough that it’s suitable for any skin type. In particular though, Laser Genesis is very effective for treating normal, aging skin (fine lines and wrinkles) and for treating facial redness.

Deep Dermal Tightening, Photofirm, and HydraGlow
Both Deep Dermal Tightening and Photo Firm combine the Laser Genesis treatment with additional services for an amplified effect on the skin. HydraGlow is a special facial that combines ZO Facial with either Laser Genesis OR Deep Dermal Tightening. Read on for more details!
Deep Dermal Tightening
As you age, your metabolism slows down, your collagen production drops, your pores get bigger, and your skin’s elasticity decreases which creates lines and wrinkles. The Deep Dermal Tightening treatment stimulates the deeper layers of the dermis and enhances its natural collagen production in a gentle, yet effective way. This can result in skin having a tighter appearance and softer, less visible lines and wrinkles. For the full benefit of this treatment, we recommend 4 to 8 sessions 2 weeks apart.

Photo Firm (Laser Genesis + Deep Dermal Tightening)
Photo Firm is our most popular treatment for skin redness and hyperpigmentation. First, we administer Laser Genesis to reduce lines + wrinkles, redness, scarring, and brown spots, then use the laser application for Deep Dermal Tightening. It stimulates collagen, tightens pores and softens wrinkles, which can help to give your skin a healthy glow! We recommend a series of 4-6 treatments.

HydraGlow
This combination skin therapy now blends the power of a ZO Facial with Laser Genesis or Deep Dermal Tightening. It reduces pore size, lines, wrinkles, sun damage, scarring and broken capillaries while infusing nutrients and hydration into the skin. This combination is the best of both worlds - it’s highly relaxing while the advanced laser technology stimulates collagen production. A super charged treatment that will leave your skin with an optimum glow.
*New clients are required to book ‘New Client Facial Hydraglow’.

Rosacea Laser Therapy
Our Rosacea Therapy is a dual treatment platform using a combination of IPL and Laser Genesis. This combined with specialized home-care provides superior treatment by reducing diffused redness and broken capillaries, and by building back collagen. The long-term effects of redness and inflammation in the skin causes a breakdown of collagen, which causes the skin to become thinner and more susceptible to continued redness. Topicals alone won’t build back the kind of collagen needed to prevent further damage.

Pre- and Post-Care
-
Use sunscreen and physical sun protection.
Avoid extended sun exposure a minimum of 4 weeks.
Tanned skin is not a contra-indication for Laser Genesis.
No waxing, over-the-counter or prescription vitamin A creams or hydroquinone (skin lighteners), topical or acne meds, glycolic or AHA’s 10% or stronger for 5 days prior to your treatment.
Avoid Facial Neuromodulator Injections and Fillers 14 days before any laser facial and 7 days post-treatment.
Avoid oral Vitamin A prescription medications for 6 months prior to treatment.
Inform your technician of any medical conditions or medications you are taking that might sensitize you to light, affect wound healing or affect coagulation.
Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (over-the-counter or prescription) prior to your treatment.
Avoid antibiotics for 48 hours prior to all of our laser treatments.
Male clients - shave in order to treat your lower face.
-
Cleanse the skin gently am and pm with tepid water and a gentle cleanser. DO NOT rub, scrub, use an exfoliant soap or skin care brush.
Sunscreen (preferably non-chemical) with both UVA and UVB, at least SPF 30 protection is a MUST and should be used daily beginning the day of treatment and reapplied every 2 hours. Mineral powder is the most convenient way to re-apply.
DO NOT expose your skin to direct sun for 14 days post-treatment. The treated area is more prone to sunburn and pigmentation change.
Moisturizer should be applied generously over the treated area and reapplied whenever your skin feels dry.
Wear a wide-brimmed hat or sun-protective clothing post-treatment to avoid blistering, scarring, hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation.
Avoid strenuous exercise and sweating for 48 hours or until after skin has healed.
If the treated area is especially warm within the first 12 hours after the treatment, a cold compress or gel pack can be used to provide comfort.
While the skin is healing, avoid anything that will irritate the skin, such as exfoliants, shaving, hot water, and swimming pools with multiple chemicals/chlorine.
In the unusual case of broken skin or blistering, contact the office immediately. Keep the affected area moist and avoid direct sunlight.
-
You may experience some redness in the treatment area that should resolve within a few hours. A gel pack can provide comfort.
You may notice darkening of your pigmented spots, followed by fading and flaking off at a later stage.
Follow your technician's aftercare plan until skin is completely healed – typically one week after the treatment. The skin on your body might take longer to heal, compared to your face.
